The New Day

2014 to 2025 WWE Kingston, Woods & Big E

Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E debuted The New Day in November 2014 and ran as a trio through the 2010s and early 2020s. Unicorn horns, the Booty-O's cereal gimmick and relentless positivity turned them into one of the most merchandised acts of the decade.

The New Day's all-time tag title count varies by source, so this page lists the verified 483-day reign rather than a single all-time number.

Signature

The act ran on crowd participation, Woods on the trombone and a merchandise machine built around Booty-O's. The group also fed Kingston's singles breakout: his 2019 WrestleMania 35 WWE Championship win, nicknamed KofiMania, grew directly out of the team's momentum.

Kingston and Woods were released by WWE on May 3, 2026, and Big E had already stepped away from the ring after a 2022 neck injury. This page reads as a retrospective on a full-time run that has ended.
